< Apostelenes gerninger 2 >
1 Og da Pinsefestens Dag kom, vare de alle endrægtigt forsamlede.
Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 Og der kom pludseligt fra Himmelen en Lyd som af et fremfarende vældigt Vejr og fyldte hele Huset, hvor de sade.
Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Og der viste sig for dem Tunger som af Ild, der fordelte sig og satte sig paa hver enkelt af dem.
Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 Og de bleve alle fyldte med den Helligaand, og de begyndte at tale i andre Tungemaal, efter hvad Aanden gav dem at udsige.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5 Men der var Jøder, bosiddende i Jerusalem, gudfrygtige Mænd af alle Folkeslag under Himmelen.
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6 Da denne Lyd kom, strømmede Mængden sammen og blev forvirret; thi hver enkelt hørte dem tale paa hans eget Maal.
When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Og de forbavsedes alle og undrede sig og sagde: „Se, ere ikke alle disse, som tale, Galilæere?
They were all amazed and marvelled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
8 Hvor kunne vi da høre dem tale, hver paa vort eget Maal, hvori vi ere fødte,
How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9 Parthere og Medere og Elamiter, og vi, som høre hjemme i Mesopotamien, Judæa og Kappadokien, Pontus og Asien,
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10 i Frygien og Pamfylien, Ægypten og Libyens Egne ved Kyrene, og vi her boende Romere,
Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Jøder og Proselyter, Kretere og Arabere, vi høre dem tale om Guds store Gerninger i vore Tungemaal?‟
Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
12 Og de forbavsedes alle og vare tvivlraadige og sagde den ene til den anden: „Hvad kan dette være?‟
They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Men andre sagde spottende: „De ere fulde af sød Vin.‟
Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
14 Da stod Peter frem med de elleve og opløftede sin Røst og talte til dem: „I jødiske Mænd og alle I, som bo i Jerusalem! dette være eder vitterligt, og laaner Øre til mine Ord!
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 Thi disse ere ikke drukne, som I mene; det er jo den tredje Time paa Dagen;
For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
16 men dette er, hvad der er sagt ved Profeten Joel:
But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 „Og det skal ske i de sidste Dage, siger Gud, da vil jeg udgyde af min Aand over alt Kød; og eders Sønner og eders Døtre skulle profetere, og de unge iblandt eder skulle se Syner, og de gamle iblandt eder skulle have Drømme.
‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
18 Ja, endog over mine Trælle og over mine Trælkvinder vil jeg i de Dage udgyde af min Aand, og de skulle profetere.
Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 Og jeg vil lade ske Undere paa Himmelen oventil og Tegn paa Jorden nedentil, Blod og Ild og rygende Damp.
I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20 Solen skal forvandles til Mørke og Maanen til Blod, førend Herrens store og herlige Dag kommer.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 Og det skal ske, enhver, som paakalder Herrens Navn, skal frelses.‟ —
It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 I israelitiske Mænd! hører disse Ord: Jesus af Nazareth, en Mand, som fra Gud var godtgjort for eder ved kraftige Gerninger og Undere og Tegn, hvilke Gud gjorde ved ham midt iblandt eder, som I jo selv vide,
“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him amongst you, even as you yourselves know,
23 ham, som efter Guds bestemte Raadslutning og Forudviden var bleven forraadt, ham have I ved lovløses Haand korsfæstet og ihjelslaaet.
him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
24 Men Gud oprejste ham, idet han gjorde Ende paa Dødens Veer, eftersom det ikke var muligt, at han kunde fastholdes af den.
whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25 Thi David siger med Henblik paa ham: „Jeg havde altid Herren for mine Øjne; thi han er ved min højre Haand, for at jeg ikke skal rokkes.
For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
26 Derfor glædede mit Hjerte sig, og min Tunge jublede, ja, ogsaa mit Kød skal bo i Haab;
Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
27 thi du skal ikke lade min Sjæl tilbage i Dødsriget, ikke heller tilstede din hellige at se Forraadnelse. (Hadēs )
because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs )
28 Du har kundgjort mig Livets Veje; du skal fylde mig med Glæde for dit Aasyn.‟
You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 I Mænd, Brødre! Jeg kan sige med Frimodighed til eder om Patriarken David, at han er baade død og begraven, og hans Grav er hos os indtil denne Dag.
“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Da han nu var en Profet og vidste, at Gud med Ed havde tilsvoret ham, at af hans Lænds Frugt skulde en sidde paa hans Trone,
Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31 talte han, forudseende, om Kristi Opstandelse, at hverken blev han ladt tilbage i Dødsriget, ej heller saa hans Kød Forraadnelse. (Hadēs )
he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. (Hadēs )
32 Denne Jesus oprejste Gud, hvorom vi alle ere Vidner.
This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33 Efter at nu han ved Guds højre Haand er ophøjet og af Faderen har faaet den Helligaands Forjættelse, har han udgydt denne, hvilket I baade se og høre.
Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 Thi David for ikke op til Himmelen; men han siger selv: „Herren sagde til min Herre: Sæt dig ved min højre Haand,
For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
35 indtil jeg faar lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder.‟
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
36 Derfor skal hele Israels Hus vide for vist, at denne Jesus, hvem I korsfæstede, har Gud gjort baade til Herre og til Kristus.‟
“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Men da de hørte dette, stak det dem i Hjertet, og de sagde til Peter og de øvrige Apostle: „I Mænd, Brødre! hvad skulle vi gøre?‟
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Men Peter sagde til dem: „Omvender eder, og hver af eder lade sig døbe paa Jesu Kristi Navn til eders Synders Forladelse; og I skulle faa den Helligaands Gave.
Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Thi for eder er Forjættelsen og for eders Børn og for alle dem, som ere langt borte, saa mange som Herren vor Gud vil tilkalde.‟
For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
40 Ogsaa med mange andre Ord vidnede han for dem og formanede dem, idet han sagde: „Lader eder frelse fra denne vanartede Slægt!‟
With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41 De, som nu toge imod hans Ord, bleve døbte; og der føjedes samme Dag omtrent tre Tusinde Sjæle til.
Then those who gladly received his word were baptised. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42 Og de holdt fast ved Apostlenes Lære og Samfundet, Brødets Brydelse og Bønnerne.
They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43 Men der kom Frygt over enhver Sjæl, og der skete mange Undere og Tegn ved Apostlene.
Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Og alle de troende holdt sig sammen og havde alle Ting fælles.
All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45 Og de solgte deres Ejendom og Gods og delte det ud iblandt alle, efter hvad enhver havde Trang til.
They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46 Og idet de hver Dag vedholdende og endrægtigt kom i Helligdommen og brød Brødet hjemme, fik de deres Føde med Fryd og i Hjertets Enfold,
Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 idet de lovede Gud og havde Yndest hos hele Folket. Men Herren føjede daglig til dem nogle, som lode sig frelse.
praising God and having favour with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
